Senators Increase Their Pay
- Share via
So our senators voted themselves a pay raise to make their salary equal to that of our representatives (Part A, July 18). They tacked on an amendment to end receiving honorariums. This is a good start, but until they cut their biggest windfall, money from political action committees, they will still be beholden to the special interest groups. Ask any evangelist; there is more than one way to fleece a flock. Our legislators have a million of them.
